OVERVIEW:

        Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Horde products that
        can lead to the deletion and purging of email messages.


IMPACT:

        The National Vulnerability Database [1], gives the following
        information regarding these vulnerabilities:

        o CVE-2007-6018: "IMP Webmail Client 4.1.5, Horde Application 
          Framework 3.1.5, and Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.0.3 does 
          not validate unspecified HTTP requests, which allows remote 
          attackers to (1) delete arbitrary e-mail messages via a modified 
          numeric ID or (2) "purge" deleted emails via a crafted email 
          message." [2]
        

MITIGATION:

        Horde have addressed these issues with the release of Horde
        Groupware Webmail 1.0.4 [3] and Horde Application Framework 3.1.6
        [4]. IMP Webmail Client 4.1.6 has also been released [5] but in 
        order to fix the vulnerability you must have the latest Horde 
        Application Framework installed.
